We already know the defense is subpar. Allen will need to carry the team. Will the offensive allow that? I want to see how conservative we remain on that side.
That’s fair, but at what point do you alter your defense to provide more man coverage against the guy? He’s been destroying people for years, and doesn’t even look like a dude who runs really well anymore.
Yeah, I think what works is constant inside pressure from an all around solid defensive line. The Eagles were able to scheme this in the Super Bowl. A singular elite guy on the edge just doesn’t get the job anymore.
It was the right call based on the rule book, but the type of thing they never call/catch. As someone else mentioned, I’m sure a phone call was made instructing the refs to make that call.
I agree, but there are people who react extremely poorly to alcohol, becoming violent hostile versions of themselves. That’s tough to understand for many of us, but it’s a thing.
